HELPING HANDS
WHAT WOULD WE’VE DONE WITHOUT?
One thing we’re still happy about is the helpful support we experienced right from the beginning of our project A Dream & A Truck. If it was just an excellent hint, a substantial training or an active move, we were assisted by so many people in a wonderful way.
We would like to sincerely thank all our helpers. It was you who contributed significantly to being well prepared for our journey. We always will be thankful for this. Many thanks.
The following list is by no means exhaustive, of course.
Family and friends, all over the world
Encouraging words, the spontaneous accommodation, free WLAN, technical knowledge, useful advices, helpful loans, a quick coffee, a good laugh together, clean laundry, the borrowed car, perfect gifts, big hugs … thousands of things we enjoyed so much. We’ll keep all the good thoughts in our hearts. We are very happy to have so many lovely people around us. ♥

First all the glamour was gone, now wheel rims and storage boxes of our truck look as good as new.

We like to pass on this compliment to Fred Eckenweber and his team, who carefully and professionally varnished these details.

She has a wonderful smile and is a great photographer. Her pictures tell stories about the people they show. Having a photo shoot with Anna means hard work and great fun at the same time. We highly recommend.
Grundig SAT Systems GmbH, Nuremberg
There is no better location to place our truck savely and comfortably than next to this fantastic company. It gives us the opportunity to have an eye on our vehicle and to care for it while we are not on world tour. Thank you GSS team for your kind support.
To be continued …
With A Dream & A Truck for us, Win and Petra, a personal lifetime dream comes true. We are on a world tour to experience the beauty of our planet. It’s not advisable to be in a hurry for such a world tour. That’s why we take our time. We have no strictly defined route for our tour with the truck, we rather enjoy to find our way by intuition. That’s quite exciting, sometimes adventurous and definitely a gain in experience.
Not always every thing goes according to plan. Those moments ask for our flexibility. It sometimes poses a big challenge to take things as they are. This means to take a deep breath and keep cool to find a new way or a proper solution.
We’ll keep our fingers crossed for ourselves, hope that our truck will be fine and we’ll be fit as a fiddle. With curiosity we gaze at the world and we are happy about the great experiences we will expect. It’s a great thing for us if you have fun reading our blog. Thank you very much.
